Breathing Session #5 (4-16-8)
Congratulations on arriving to the final lesson of this course! Here, we will explore the ancient yogic ratio of the 4-16-8 (also known as the beginners ratio). By the full and quick 4 count inhale, we create a sudden pressure change in the body, further activating energy channel purification. As we engage in this practice, you may experience sensations of heat and possibly sweat, signifying the purification of energy channels. The key focus will be on keeping the exhale slow and controlled, allowing for a deeper connection to breath and inner balance.
